The National Institute for Reproductive Health (NIRH) builds power at the state and local level to change public policy, galvanize public support, and normalize decisions about abortion and contraception. NIRH provides state and local advocates with strategic guidance, hands-on support, and funding to create national change from the ground up. Since 2008, the organization has provided direct grants and hands-on support to more than 180 reproductive health, rights, and justice organizations in 43 states and 71 localities across the country.
